Animation Control
Animation Control is used to set controls for animating frames and recording movies in Workbench. Note: the speed of real time animation in Workbench is largely dependent on your computer's processing speed.

- Image Source sets the Workbench Window where you are performing the animation. Only the currently Active Tab of the Workbench Window you set here will have the animation applied.

- Recording Control contains settings for:

> - Repeat Frames, which allows one to set a number of frames to be replicated per rotation/slice advancing step, this allows one to control how slowly the movie advances, e.g. if set to 0 the image rotates/slices advances quickly, if 5 or 10 it rotates more slowly.
> - Record button which starts/stops recording of the movie. Upon stopping the recording, the user is prompted to save the .mpg movie file.

- Rotation Control (for surfaces) to set:

> - X, Y, Z rotation of the animation, which is applied per frame.

> - Rotation Frame Count sets the number of frames to which the set rotation will be applied in the animation.

> - Reverse Direction to set whether a rotation of an equal number of frames in the reverse direction will be applied in the animation.

- Slice Control (for volumes) to set:

> - Slice Increment Count sets the number of volume slices the animation advances through in the forward direction.
> - Reverse direction sets whether an animation that advances an equal number of slices in the opposite direction will be applied.

- Interpolate S urfaces to set whether the surface in Tab 1 of the source Workbench Window will be interpolated (morphed) into the surface in Tab 2. This function only works for Tab 1 and Tab 2, so one must set up the tabs accordingly.

> - Interpolation Steps sets the number of frames used to accomplish the interpolation. The higher the number of steps the smoother the interpolation will appear.

- Image Size to set the dimensions of the animated image to the size of the viewing window of the active tab or to custom dimensions (in pixels).

- Image Options to set a margin around the image to be animated in the recorded movie.
